Chapter 715: Visiting Hea
"This isn't a souvenir shop..." Yuuki muttered softly as if representing the girls next to her.
They had just entered this fancy shop, and they were already greeted by many elven dresses that looked like clothes lacking fabric.
"Welcome to our shop. Is there anything we can do to help? Oh my, we have guests of various foreign races. Worry not. We don't mean to be racist because all customers are welcome. I'm Melian. Nice to meet you." A sexy lady put her hands together with a pleasant smile. She looked at her coworkers enthusiastically to tell her that their new customers were no ordinary individuals.
"Hehe, there's no need to worry. We're lucky enough because it's already dusk and no other customers come. Excuse me, beautiful lady, I want to buy many souvenirs. Therefore, please don't allow other customers to enter while we are shopping. do it?" Sylvia rubbed her hands together excitedly. Those elven dresses look beautiful and seductive.
"That's fine." Melian tilted her head slightly and immediately nodded in agreement. She doesn't mind the request as long as this unique customer is comfortable and would buy many things.
A 'close' sign was posted at the entrance, and an employee stood guard there.
"Hmm, she won, but I don't want to try on that embarrassing dress. Let's let Sylvi have some fun buying whatever she likes. Let's sit there and wait." Yuuki folded her arms with a pout. She went to the long sofa and sat there.
"This is a souvenir shop. It doesn't only provide elven dresses here. Look there, they also sell various unique dresses, items, accessories, and many more." Sylvia pointed to various corners of the shop.
She then picked up a few dresses that caught her eye and immediately put them into the shopping cart. Two employees immediately came to help her.
Elysia just smiled faintly and sat on the sofa as well. She inadvertently glanced at the tea-brewing equipment on the table.
"Is this reserved for customers?" Vanessa asked a nearby employee.
"Ah, yes. Would you like a cup of tea while you wait? Let me-" The elf employee offered to brew some tea, but Vanessa raised her hand and cut the employee off.
"No, there's no need. I'll do that." Vanessa checked the tea set before brewing the tea.
She then poured a cup of tea for her master and everyone else.
"Thank you." Elysia accepted the tea and took a sip.
Vanessa smiled happily. After distributing the teas to everyone, she sat down on the floor, right in front of her master.
She moved the little sleeping tortoise onto the table and rested her head on her master's lap. Her tiger's ears stood straight, and her fluffy tail fluttered left and right while looking at her master's face with an expectant gaze.
"Hmm-mm~ Our Vann wants some attention." Elena smiled in amusement and gave a head pat to this cute tiger girl.
"Oh my... Do you want to be petted? I'll give you~" Elysia put her teacup on the table and stroked Vanessa's head gently. She occasionally tickled Vanessa's constantly twitching ears.
"Heehee~ Grr~" Vanessa chuckled and purred. She closed her eyes with a satisfied smile as if her master's attention and care were all she had hoped for.
"Woah..." Yuuki widened her eyes as if she had just been enlightened. She suddenly had so many ideas in mind, and she would put them into practice later.
"Excuse me, I have a concern about what just happened. Can I ask for enlightenment?" Evelyn raised her hand somewhat worriedly.
"Sure, please continue with your question." Nell gave her attention to the restless girl.
"The Elven Emperor Uevareth Krissalor said that there were three destroyed forest cities and over a thousand mutated elves. Is it alright for us not to check out those destroyed cities? Maybe there are still..." Evelyn paused because she couldn't finish her question. That was a heavy topic to discuss.
"You don't have to worry about that, kind girl. The three forest cities in question have been destroyed, and all of their inhabitants have been evacuated. As for the mutated... They have been purified in that forest by the divine light with millions of trees and thousands of animals." Lifa put her hand on Evelyn's head and gave a head pat.
"I see... I feel relieved." Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief.
A few moments later, a waitress from the restaurant next door came with a note. She looked confused because the shop was closed. Still, her eyes immediately lit up when she noticed the customers in the waiting room behind the glass wall.
"Are you looking for something, Kavlara? Sorry, our valued customers are shopping in a private time and don't want to be disturbed. You can be back in a few minutes." An employee guarding near the entrance opened the door slightly to tell her friend.
"That's not it, Ilsevel. The esteemed customers you mentioned are guests of our restaurant as well. They ordered many dishes to take home, and I'm here to deliver the receipt and ask them for confirmation. Please let me in." Kavala shook her head and then pointed her finger at the customers in question.
"Is it like that? Please wait a moment. I need to ask their permission first." Ilsevel didn't want to take the risk of making the respectable customers angry. She closed the door and asked politely. "My apologies. Dear customers, do you have an order at the restaurant next door?"
"Ah, yes, that's our order. They worked so fast to prepare that many dishes. Let them in." Elysia replied with a nod.
"It looks like your order is still being prepared by the chefs. The one who arrived was the waitress who wanted to ask for confirmation. Please come in." Ilsevel opened the door and let her friend in.
"Excuse me, this is your receipt. Your order is being prepared by our kitchen. Would you like us to deliver everything here as soon as everything is ready?" Kavala handed a piece of leaf paper with both hands.
"Mm, bring it here. I-" Elysia received the leaf paper and intended to pay for it.
However, Sylvia came out of nowhere and glanced at the payment note. She immediately gave a coin pouch to the waitress. "Here, you can take the change back for your service to our order. We need our order completed as soon as possible."
"Eh, ah, alright! Then, please excuse me. We'll get your order here as soon as we can." Kavala checked the contents inside the pouch and immediately excused herself to leave. She didn't have to count the coins in the pouch to know that the value was more than what needed to be paid.
"Hehe, there's no need to worry. See how that little elf is ecstatic just from receiving a few extra coins." Sylvia rubbed her head with a chuckle. She then waved her hand to the employees next to her. "Please pack up all the things I'm about to buy and give me the receipt."
"All right, miss. Please wait a moment." The two employees immediately carried out the request.
"Hmm? Where's Sea God?" Sylvia scratched her head when she realized their group was missing one person.
"Hmm? He was here..." Ella felt a little confused because the man sitting on the sofa next to her had disappeared somewhere.
"He is there, teasing that beautiful elf lady with his cheap sweet talk." Rhea pointed her finger in a direction.
"Hello, elf beauty. Your name is Melian, right? A beautiful name that just fits a beautiful lady like you. Can we get acquainted further? For you to know, I am a mighty God, the lord of the seven seas and oceans." Oceanid leaned his arm against the counter.
"Fufu, my apologies, dear sir. You came with many unbelievably gorgeous girls, and you still came to me to say that? I was afraid you would get a bad impression from them." Melian covered her mouth in a light giggle.
"Well, yes. They are indeed Goddesses and angels of exceptional attractiveness. However, I can't flirt with them for a cause. I'm going to spend the night in this city. Want to come and play a game with me tonight? You definitely won't regret it." Oceanid glanced back briefly and shook his head. He immediately returned the conversation to the main topic.
"Just ignore him, girls. Let's pretend he's not around until tomorrow. Sometimes, that 'beast' is a big pervert and likes to flirt with any ripe beauty when the opportunity arises. So please be careful with him." Lifa covered her mouth and gave a piece of advice to the girls.
"O-oh~" The girls nodded in understanding.
Elena and Rhea just looked at each other with an amused smile. Fortunately, Oceanid was too busy seducing the beautiful elf and didn't pay attention to Lifa's words.
The employees who accidentally overheard the conversation of the esteemed customers were confused. Still, they didn't dwell on the matter or have any issues. They just didn't take the conversation seriously.
After Sylvia's souvenirs were paid and their food orders arrived, the girls left the shop without Oceanid.
They headed straight for the elf's sacred tree that stood firmly in the center of the forest city. Within a particular land guarded with exclusive supervision, there was a magnificent tree over two hundred meters.
Elysia's group entered the elf's sacred ground unnoticed by the guards. Lifa erected a barrier around them and asked Elena to revoke the invisible magic that enveloped them.
"Hello, Hea. Are you there? We came to visit you." Lifa greeted while stroking the tree trunk.
"Eh? Who are you all? Intruders? Intruders!?" A floating little fluffy ball was startled when a group of individuals appeared out of nowhere.
